India-Japan Relations

India and Japan’s exchange began during 6th Century A.D with the introduction of Buddhism to Japan.
Direct exchange commenced during the Meiji era (1868-1912), when bilateral relations developed around Japanese purchases of cotton. This was subsequently followed with import of iron ore from India after World War II. Over the years, Japan has become one of India’s strong trading partners.

After the era of economic liberalization began in 1991, the Indian economy grew at a rate of 5.5 % and has accelerated to over 8% in the past few years. Based on the remarkable achievement of robust economic growth, today India is part of the “trillion-dollar economy club” which has attracted interest from various Japanese corporates.
